Feeling on top of the world....

Playing along with Cheryl.
 ...really makes my Monday. I am so happy today, not even a rather frustrating project can dampen the mood. As you all know, I had a truly wonderful weekend thanks mainly to Hunter who organized the accommodation and initiated the whole trip. But who also did the really tough part - looking after the 2 sick boys back home. What added to my enjoyment is that they had a good weekend too, after all the sickness of the past weekends. The boys are better, they slept better than in ages and Hunter thus got some good sleep too. We did manage to give him his Fathersday goodies, but we need to make another day to properly honour him.

I really need to do a good run of every day as really there were so many great moments. What we thought would be a cold mostly indoor holiday turned into a warm and mostly outdoor one. And making the holiday great was:
Quality time with my Princess
Fun and adrenaline with a favorite cousin and friend
Seeing my mom having laughs with one of her best friends and showing her the Berg for the first time ever.
And two little girls enjoying each other for the full period - not a moment of unhappiness.

The real magic was in the perfect combination - 3 generations of fun.
and the mountains, not to forget the 270 degree view of mountains (fromt he road just outside the resort)

  3. @df0b3fb982003c4f64d7e3fea135998c  You work on exactly the same system as us, we are just 11 and skip January. And it is a "stokvel" system - ie you give a little something every month and once a year get the total - be it for books in this case.

  7. Week-ends away like that are so rejuvenating! So glad you enjoyed yours! Our book club has 10 members each getting a turn to host - money collected is used to by books which the hostess chooses and remain hers. No "stokvel"! No book club in Jan and Dec we go out for dinner! Oh, of course there's always lots of wine! :)
